The proper term is "split plating doubling". There is no "plate" involved
How is that possible when it is a copper plated zinc core cent?
Yes I'm personally aware that when people here use "split plating" or such they are referring to that error. I was just posting some of the other info related to the error for others to read or learn, including that quote that mike diamond made here about the correct terminology for this error:

As to the coin its just easier to identify if you can see the zinc coloring which you can see in the other two examples I posted. I'm learning like everyone else just trying to share as I go if that helps others to also learn. We all have our own individual personal strengths and weaknesses of our knowledge.
